Chapter Three: The Future begins With the Past
I lead them inside and turned to face
them, "Please, feel free to look around until I come back, I need to prep the rooms for your examinations." They nodded at
me and continued to look at the pictures on the wall. I left them and continued to my family's labortory.

Cat
looked at a book that was incased in glass and called to the others. "Hey..this...journal....its strange..." The others gathered
around her and looked at the page.
"Earth Year 2096
Authors: Shadow of Wisdom and Hope
Note to all:
Shadow
of Darkness, Love, Fire, Lightning, Thunder and Light have been lost to %%%%%%%%%%%%%
A strange creature accompined Him.
We belive that ---It was the cause of our fall....Please...WAtch OUT......BRING US BACK!!
P.S.
We place our finger on
the side of our nose and tap three times."
Cat looked at the Nine surrounding her."This cant be right....we do
that little sign...." her voice trailed off. Vince stood besides her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Thats not what
we should be worring about....It's the date....2096....Could that be us...old...in the future? And what happened to the others...." Marc
cut off his friend as Cervanted walked back into the room smiling.
"Okay...the labs are ready to test
you....please if you would follow me..." He went back through the doorway and led the Nine into another room.
As
they walked into yet another room, the intercom overhead clicked on. "The Shadow Nine please listen for your
designated rooms...Shadow One, to room A......Shadow Three, Eight, and Four...Room B.....Shadow Two, Nine, Seven and Five,....room
C...Thank You." Erin laughed nervously and smiled at her friends "See you all in a bit..." Hilda and her gang nodded and waved
to the rest remaining, "Bye guys..." Cat watched her friends leave the room and sat down. A heavy hand hit her shoulder, "HEY!"
she yelped. As she looked up to see a guard with a needle gun in his hand. Her eyes went wide as she scrambled to get out
of his grasp. "LEMME GO YOU PHYCO NEEDLEIST FREAKS OF A-" she got cut off by Marc, "oh..my..God." He managed to say as he
got tackled from behind. Gina screamed and tried to get out of the room, but failed,"GET YOUR DIRTY HANDS OFF OF ME!! LET
ME GO!!!" she screamed as the guard wrapped his hands around her small waist.
Vince had let out a groan as the forceably
thrown him onto an operating table and placed him in restraints. Gina begain to cry as the guard restraining her forced her
onto a table as well.
----------------------------
"Someone! PLEASE..come...get....me..."Erin started
to scream as again, this time coming to the conclusion that no one was going to help her. Erin placed her hands on the glass
window and sighed. She begain to pound at the glass, finally stopping when her hand became purple and blue. She slid against
the opposing wall and brought her knees to her chest, and cried into her knees, "..I...just want to go...home....I want to
see my friends again..." She looked up and saw that her vision had become cloudy. She blinked her eyes once again and saw
that it wasnt her vision going bad..it was the room itself. "Oh shit.." She got up to her feet and begain to pound on the
glass again "GET ME OUT OF HERE!! THERES....THERES A....A...GAS COMING IN....HEY!! SOMEBODY!..."
she began to cough, "those.....bastards.....they
meant...to.....do.......this.....sta...wake...." and she fell to the floor, the fumes creeping into her blood and circulating
throughout her body.
------------------------
Cat struggled with the doctors as they tightened her
restraints. She screamed once again as they refilled the siringe gun and tried to get away, "please....please...no...no more...please..."
she looked at the gun as it pierced her arm once again, "anything...else.....not...this.." Marc screamed at the guards who
were struggling to place him on another table as Cat passed out, "WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING TO HER? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO
US?" Vince kicked the guard holding him down as he yelled to the doctors "WHO IN THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE? WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE
ARE YOU??"
The guard laughed in Vinces face and thrust his head into the bed, pulling the straps aound his arms, waist
and legs. Marc stared at his friends who on one side was being beaten, one who was unconscious and the other who was placed
under IV. He looked up at the celing and saw the giant hand blur his vision and felt the cold steel on his body, the needle
piercing his arm as well....
